And now, for the all-important flight cancellation update. As of this moment, 218 U.S. flights have been cancelled. Leading the way in cancellations is Newark, Philadelphia and LaGuardia. That's according to FlightAware.com.

Here is a completely awesome photo of people dressed as turkeys at Heathrow Airport. This is interesting because Thanksgiving is not, as far as I know, celebrated in the U.K. But still, this is great. Photo courtesy Heathrow airport via @hbaskas (Harriett Baskas).

If you're traveling through Houston today, stop off at Baggage carousel 1 for free giveaways from Zappos. Rumor has it they're giving away gift certificates and Kitchen Aid mixers. Does anyone else think the latter is a little random? What did I miss?

Philadelphia has surpassed Newark for number of flight cancellations. If you're traveling to, from or through Philly, be sure to check your flight status before heading to the airport. If your flight has been cancelled, contact airline about your options.

More delays: Departures at ATL averaging about 32 minute for delays according to FlightAware. At Fort Lauderdale, 27 minutes delays on departures. Not terrible.

So I have some more insight into the Heathrow airport people-turkeys. Turns out they're there to "celebrate with some of the 16million Americans who travel through the UK’s hub each year." Thanks Heathrow!

A TSA spokesman says there are no significant delays at TSA checkpoints across the country. All lanes are staffed and open. One reason there may not be significant delays is the use of PreCheck lanes which allow passengers to get through security with minimal hassle. via ABC's Matt Hosford (@ABCaviation)

OK, here we go. For those of you who want to skip the delays and stay home for Thanksgiving, every major airline has issued a flexible change policy. Here's links to each policy so you can see your options:

Side note: If you're already thinking ahead to next year, remember that Thanksgiving is one of the cheapest times to travel to Europe. Rent a villa for the fam and eat turkey sandwiches. Cheap flights!
